Recently, #特朗普在大学毕业典礼上对着商科学 had a 'heartfelt talk': 'Kids, don’t stare at candlestick charts all day; go work in a factory or pour concrete at a construction site; that’s the real career!' This statement suggests that the financial market is a ravenous abyss, while real industry is the correct path.
But netizens burst into laughter on the spot: 'You’re making a fortune in the crypto and stock markets while urging others to work hard; isn’t this script flipped?'
I. The real story of Trump Coin
Speaking of Trump's 'double standard' operations, the first one that comes to mind is his personally launched Trump Coin (TRUMP). When it was launched in January last year, this meme coin rode on Trump's political halo and soared, reaching a market cap of 4 billion dollars, directly making it the 'fourth' in the meme coin world.
Even more exaggerated, Trump's fortune surged by 50 billion dollars, making him a 'money printing machine.' But the celebration is always short-lived; as market enthusiasm waned, Trump Coin fell from a high of 71.65 dollars to 10.94 dollars by May 5, a decline of over 80%. Countless investors watched their account balances 'cut in half again and again,' only able to silently sigh: 'It turns out the ultimate meaning of 'Trump Economics' is — I make money off you, and you cry about your poverty.'
Interestingly, the Trump family seems to treat virtual currencies as a 'cash machine.' From Trump himself to his children, they have all launched their own tokens and are having a blast. But after the excitement, all that’s left is a mess. Some investors helplessly lament: 'Trump's “America First” was actually about prioritizing the harvesting of American investors.'
II. ‘Precise predictions’ in the stock market
If the crypto world is 'openly harvesting,' then Trump's operations in the stock market can be described as 'secretly stealing.' On April 9 this year, Trump suddenly called out on social media to 'buy stocks,' while the US announced a delay in imposing tariffs on several countries.
These two pieces of news injected excitement into the US stock market like a stimulant, causing the S&P 500 index to achieve the third-largest single-day gain since World War II. However, strangely, just before the news was announced, there was a surge of suspicious options trading in the US stock market, with someone accurately buying relevant stocks, as if they had received the 'script' in advance.
Even more jaw-dropping is that before announcing the suspension of tariffs, Trump specifically suggested that everyone buy stocks of Trump Media and Technology Group. As a result, the company’s stock price doubled that day, far outpacing the market. This kind of 'Sima Zhao's intentions are clear' operation has even drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers, who publicly called for an investigation into potential insider trading. Some netizens joked, 'This is not a president, this is clearly the reincarnation of a 'stock god,' even the Federal Reserve has to be his 'patsy.'
III. Latest updates: Turmoil in the cryptocurrency market
As of May 5, the cryptocurrency market remains clouded. The price of Bitcoin has fallen below 94,000 dollars, down 2.5% in 24 hours, while Trump Coin hovers around 10 dollars, showing no signs of rebounding.
Meanwhile, in an interview on May 4, Trump once again blasted Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, accusing him of not lowering interest rates out of 'personal hostility,' but he also stated that he would not dismiss him before Powell's term ends in 2026. This 'talking tough but being very honest' attitude has left the market's expectations of Federal Reserve policy even more uncertain.
It’s worth noting that although Trump advises students to 'stay away from speculation,' his policies continuously stimulate the financial market. For example, his tariff policies fluctuate between increasing and suspending, causing the US stock market to swing like a roller coaster.
Analysts point out that the uncertainty of such policies creates arbitrage opportunities for certain capital, while ordinary investors can only 'go with the flow' amidst the turmoil.
IV. Netizens' sharp comments: The self-cultivation of a 'double standard' president.
Regarding Trump's inconsistent words and actions, netizens' complaints can be described as 'the pinnacle of sarcasm':
'Trump's speech should be translated as: ‘I’m responsible for speculation and making money, while you’re responsible for working to support me.’
'It’s suggested that Trump change ‘Make America Great Again’ to ‘Make Trump Rich Again,’ which is more fitting.'
'Trump Coin plummeted by 82%, this is the real 'America First' — prioritizing the bankruptcy of investors.'
Some investors even dug up the dark history of Trump University: this 'diploma mill' that was sued for defrauding students and ultimately paid 25 million dollars in compensation is now using virtual currencies and the stock market to harvest a new round of 'tuition fees.'
Conclusion
Trump's 'words of wisdom' are essentially a carefully designed 'performance art.' He stirs the market with policies while guiding public opinion, with only one ultimate goal — to make his wallet fatter.
For ordinary investors, instead of trusting the advice of 'experts,' it’s better to learn more financial knowledge, as in this trick-filled market, the only one who can protect you is yourself.
And Trump's story teaches us a lesson: When someone tells you 'don’t do this,' it’s often because they are secretly doing it and making a fortune.
